The forestry and logging pictures thread

Good pic Andy.Down here where I'm at in the creek bottoms we will l l dig down on the good walnut to the root fares. At times minimal to none and other times 1 to 2 feet. Hogbacks on the creeks can sometimes have heavy silt deposits over the years.
Dug down about 4ft one time with the skidder and hit the top of a barbed wire fence!,,

The veneer grade market and sixe of tree makes alot of difference on how much time you spend digging. Like everything else the market dictates. Where I am logging right now there's lots of flint and shelf rock so minimal digging!

I would imagine. Diameter and grade really affect price. Last Walnut I sold averaged $4.95/bd ft and I had some that was $8.40/bd ft. I heard price is dropping though…

My market is a bit different. Going tom12 different countries.
I can sell the roughest log there is for more than veneer market as long as it goes 36" at 135 ft. Crotch and all. Kinda tallies up quick

We get pretty low most of the time and some days it’s just nice having the big yellow power wedge to help with all the pounding duties.

Some nicer smaller export wood on our forwarder, a few shots one of the places I've been working at in the summer, and a few nicer pumpkins from an alder patch.

@jacob j. do you guys still see many three log loads going down the road down there anymore?

Heck with the logs…any fish in that creek?

According to the state it’s a Large type F but doesn’t mean there’s something big enough in there to catch.

The Ash is nearing the end, some rotting on the stump. Just when I cut a little higher the tree is ok, weird.

Maple is the leave tree, should grow now.
